We had a wonderful experience punting in Cambridge with Rutherford Punting. Max was our tour guide, and he was excellent! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging, making the whole trip enjoyable. His explanations and interesting stories added so much to the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Rutherford Punting, especially with Max as your guide. Thank you for such a lovely experience!

This was a fantastic tour.  Our guide was very knowledgeable (and funny), providing the history of the university, information about noteworthy people who've attended the various colleges, as well as discussing student pranks and what it's like to be a student at Cambridge.  The bridges and campus buildings are absolutely beautiful and this tour provides a different perspective that you don't get from walking the streets.  Highly recommend!

Great punting trip with Max, who was a skilled punter with a wealth of interesting and amusing stories. Well worth the money.

These fantastic cheese punting tours are English cheese tasting with a true Cambridge twist – they take place on a punt!

These cheesey tours are created in partnership with The Cambridge Cheese Company.

Your guide will punt you along the Cambridge Backs on an award-winning tour, passing the many famous riverside Colleges – but this time, with cheese!

You’ll be regaled with the best stories behind the city that you see today as you taste the specially-selected English cheeses.

This tour offers the chance to sample the very best of British cheeses while gliding through the College Backs in your own private punt. All of our private tours accommodate up to 12 guests, simply select the number of cheese sets you would like at checkout to suit your tour size.

Choose extras as you book, with options from a selection of food and drinks, and make your very own ultimate outdoor tasting experience.

Your exquisite cheese selection will be delivered to your punt ready for your departure with any additional drinks or nibbles that you selected to enjoy on your tour.

Our cheese tours are bookable up to 48 hours in advance.

Cheese Tasting Tour Information

Our 45-minute cheese and punting tours are bookable in advance and will be waiting for you at your preferred time. Onboard you’ll find your cheese experience ready to go, as well as any added drinks or nibbles.

The cheese tasting board will include 5 different English or British cheeses and crispy crackers.

Head directly to our Jesus Green Moorings just 2 minutes along the boardwalk from the Quayside to take your tour.

Our cheese punting tours can be booked throughout the day. These tours are for a maximum of 12 people. For last-minute bookings, please contact our Bookings Team on 01223 322200.

You can also bring your dog with you for the experience and best of all there’s no extra charge for your best friend!

Both our boats and our employees will be dressed for the weather on the day. If it’s sunny, your guide will be wearing a waistcoat. At cooler times of the year, your guide will wear a professional coat and your boat will be equipped with umbrellas.

What to do if you’re running late? Your cheese booking will be held for you for 5 minutes, after this point, it wouldn’t be possible to go on the tour as this would mean missing our later bookings. Please call us the moment you know of any delays to your schedule and we’ll try to organise things to accommodate you.
